Israel, much like the fortress of Tel-Chai that Jospeh Trumpeldor fought to defend against Arab conquerors in 1920, finds itself beseiged by enemies both within and without. Terrorists, would-be friends inside and outside Israel, and even bad government officials. Here are the discussions of one proud Zionist resident on the state of the nation and abroad.

We could use a female police commissioner

The time has possibly come to appoint a female Chief of Israel Police, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a speech on Tuesday.

“It could be the right thing to do, and possibly the time has come, to appoint down the road a female chief of police,” Netanyahu said, a day after news broke that another top police commander, Deputy Commissioner Nissim Mor, is being investigated following a sexual misconduct complaint by a subordinate female officer.

“I want to advance this idea. It would be a refreshing change, a female chief of the Israel Police,” he added.

I fully agree on that. As for the commander who committed sexual harrassment, he should be fired if he's guilty.

About me

I'm Avi Green

From Jerusalem, Israel

I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.
